N Scale Train Trestle Display

I put together these trestles to use as display stands for N gauge engines. One is 10.5 and the other is 5 inches long, but one could easily be made to any length. It is loosely based on a Great Northern Railway Standard Frame Trestle design that I found on the web.

I used a Prusa 3 to make this so some of these recommendations may not work quite the same with another printer, but I describe what I did here. I used PLA, and the layer height was set to the default 0.15 mm. And for the one part where I used supports, I used all the default settings too.

All the parts, except for the Main Frames can be printed without supports. Using supports with the Main Frame STLs take a while to clean up, but I found that they were strong and looked good when I was done. Be careful not to cut yourself when digging the support material out with an Xacto knife. Blood just ruins a good print…

For the small trestle you need to print 5 Main Frames, 2 SideBraces, 12
